Our corona diary.

[Text and photo by Mridusmita Bhagawati]

I close my eyes in self-isolation from corona… and I see relationships, the ones which are built of love and respect, the ones which were lost in the world of virtuality, the ones who still managed to sustain themselves. I see a year of hope and self-love, a fear of the loss of loved ones, a concern for the deprived. The sound of raindrops igniting a tune by itself, a reminiscence of a long-gone lover who I don’t hate anymore. And each rain ushers a new light, a new tune, a distinct one. And with it another mismatched story.

“We the Isolationists” series urges folks from any part of the world to share a brief diary starting with “I close my eyes in my self-isolation from Corona… and I see…” Not more than 100 words. With a horizontal-sized selfie, along with your city name… please mail to me at mayankaustensoofi@gmail.com.
